Sweet Happy Birthday Card

Yesterday I was asked to attend a Girl Scout Meeting and show the girls how to make cards.  Their meeting was a Service Meeting and they were making cards to give to someone else to give.  They also made bath salts, no sew blankets, ornaments, bookmarks and hanger covers.  I wanted to create a sample card that was simple, but did not look simple.

I was inspired by a card that my friend Amy Voltz sent me along with a prize I won on her blog.

I trimmed a piece of cardstock and ran it through my CuttleBug to emboss it.  I tied a ribbon around the cardstock before I adhered it to the card base.  I cut out an oval and a fancy shadow.  I used a Pink by Design sentiment stamp.   I added a couple of gems.

I am also entering this card over at Sheila's BLOG for her weekly challenge ~ using green and at least one gem.

Here are the cards that the girls made ~ aren't they sweet!!!  The had so much fun embossing!

Thank you girls for having me over to play!!!
